Supposedly you're supposed to get these quests in sequence but something happened and i didn't get the quest. Also apparently some ghost is supposed to show up in the middle of it and that didn't happen either so now i'm stuck in this non quest getting state... and i don't have any saves before it. This happen to anyone else?

Also i had already gone to their headquarters and killed everyone there before getting the quest which is apparently where it sends you.



and now i see that since i sent my companion away she's no longer at home where she should be, looks like i'm reloading yesterday's save. So i guess the tip to take away from this it dont kill all the silver hand before the companion quests are done.

I'm having that exact same problem as well.

I stumbled upon a solution on this link: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/615803-the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/60992112

I attempted to try it out on that link (after hours experimenting to no luck), but maybe you might have luck with it.
